IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 89

Benjamin stood stiffly where Grace had left him, feeling like there was a chill piercing through

him.

Did this mean that she wasn’t even going to give him a chance?

Benjamin felt like things had completely gone out of control. It seemed that he would never be

able to catch her.

He felt inexplicably anxious.

At that moment, May drove past him in her car.

Benjamin turned and frowned. He watched May leave in the same direction as Grace, and for some

unknown’reason, his heart did a somersault in his chest. He had a bad feeling about this.

Without any hesitation, he followed them in his car.

Meanwhile, Grace called Emily while she drove. “Babe, my design draft was passed! I got the position

of chief designer for this year’s fashion show. It’s going to be held in Pamore!”

When Emily heard this, she was filled with joy.

“Congratulations, babe! Shall we celebrate tonight?”

Grace said hurriedly, “I’m meeting Xander tonight.”

“Wow! What is this? Hurry up and tell your best friend.”

Grace shook her head slightly. “What are you thinking? Xander and I are like siblings. Don’t think of any

nonsense!”

Emily didn’t believe it at all.

“Tsk, I think you’re just being oblivious! But really, Xander is a hundred times better than that ex–

husband of yours. Don’t be blind, girl. If you miss such a good man, then you might end up

alone for life.”

Grace half–joked. “Alright, I’ll be alone for life then!”

Emily wasn’t having it. “No way! Grace, tell me the truth. Do you still have feelings for Benjamin?”

“No.”

“Then what’s going on with you?”

Grace pressed her lips together and looked ahead. What she could be sure of now was that she had

completely let go of Benjamin. She had just wasted three years of her life and had a –

+15 BONUS

She no longer had the courage to love.

“Hey, talk to me!”

“Alright, alright! I think we should let matters of the heart be. It’ll take its own course.

“Right now, all I’m thinking about is how to improve the company’s performance and do well at this

fashion show. Anything else can be shelved for now.”

Grace had just finished speaking when a black Volkswagen suddenly shot out in front of her and came

right at her, heading for a collision.

Grace’s eyes widened.

A sense of dread filled her, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Without thinking, she sharply turned the wheel to the right.

At the crucial moment, a Bentley appeared and blocked her, colliding straight with the Volkswagen

instead.

There was a huge crash.

It rang in her ears.

Grace saw that the Bentley now had a huge dent in it, and there were plumes of black smoke rising

from the car’s hood. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Babe, what’s the matter? What happened?” Emily’s anxious voice came through the phone.

Grace didn’t have the capacity to answer.

She recognized that car.

She knew who the owner of the car was.

Without hesitation, Grace opened the door and got out of her car. She stumbled as she ran to the

Bentley.

Through the window, she saw Benjamin slumped over the steering wheel with blood all over

his face.

At that moment, her heart sank.

Grace kept knocking on the car window, screaming. Her voice was trembling. “Benjamin, wake up!

Hurry up and wake up!”

He seemed to have heard her calling for him, and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Gr–Grace …”

He was still calling her name, even in his half–conscious state.

He seemed to see her silhouette. Then, his hands fell limply down beside him, and he fell

unconscious.
